Boy Noize and Stephen A. Clark covered “Killer” by Adamski (1990) and they recreated the music video with a model in place of Seal.
The year was 1990 somewhere in the UK. DJ/producer Adamski released “Killer” on vinyl via MCA Records. He also released a remix of the song featuring Seal on vocals. Then in 1991 Seal re-produced the track for his debut self titled album. They made a computer generated music video that was advanced for it’s time. Now Boys Noize has remade that video with Valerie Mevegue.
“It’s the loneliness that’s the killer/ So you want/ To be free/ To live your life/ The way you want to be/ Will you give/ If we cry?/ Will we live/ Or will we, die..?” sings Stephen A. Clark in place of Seal.
Boys Noize, aka Alexander Ridha from Germany, plays Adamski in the video re-make, wearing the nifty fur coat and metallic silver snap back. It seems as fashionable now as it did back then.

Ridha reflects, “Being a 90’s kid, I kind of grew up with this song which later became one of these tunes I’d play out at the end of the night. When I met Steven and heard his voice for the first time I immediately thought of that track and the idea of doing a cover version was born. It was initially just for fun, but it turned banging and lit the dancefloors wherever I’d drop it – so here I am sharing my industrial KILLER.”
Die hard record collectors will never be happy unless they acquire the Boys Noize and Clark cover version of “Killer” by Adamski featuring Seal. It’s about $10.81 plus tariffs.
